mikey (323), farmington, Utah, USA Jun 18, 2005 Poured a clear chestnut color with a thick creamy off-white head. The nose starts off with grapefruity hops with a bready malt presence beneth. The flavor starts with intense citusy grapefruit and rich meaty malts. The finish was of toasted caramel malts and a very warm alcohol bath. Great hop balance makes this taste like it’s much more than just a strong ale.
zappafan99 (351), Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA Dec 4, 2008 Taste 12/8 Bottle. Looks: Lovely dark red body with a lacing head. Aroma: Tons of malts and yeast. Taste: Nice thick malt base with a good sour yeast. Finishes with a nice sharp hops bitterness. Unique, over the top and quite drinkable. bconley (82), Fern Park, Florida, USA Dec 3, 2008 Bomber. Glad this is available in FL now. Pours deep amber color, with an off white head. Very floral smell. Big and hoppy. Has the nice citrusy and evergreen flavor. Definitely some caramel sweetness in there too. Really good...in fact..I Was worthy joeyplush (78), Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 2, 2008 Pours a rich chestnut amber color with a creamy off-white head. Rich aroma of citrus and floral hops, nicely balanced. Taste is hoppy and fruity, with hints of grapes balanced with caramel hops, and a bitter finish which reminds me of a grapefruit. Very strong lacing. Overall, a robust beer that feels like a cross between an IPA and an amber lager. poolboy (29), Lafayette, Indiana, USA Nov 30, 2008 This beer is available on tap at several places near me. So, I drink a good bit of it. Copper with a large head. Taste of malt, hopes, and bitters. Some alcohol taste as well. Very pleasant aftertaste. Recommended. barleynhops (28), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Nov 29, 2008 Poured a red color with light lacing. Mild taste of hops, but with bitter malts. Couldnt taste the alcohol, but rather enjoyed the aftertaste which was nutty with a little citris.
